5 Things to Do to Your Land This Memorial Day Weekend in Arkansas

Make the Most of Memorial Day Weekend on Your Land in Arkansas

Memorial Day weekend isn’t just the unofficial start of summer — it’s also one of the best times to tackle outdoor projects before the heat of June sets in. If you’ve got land in Garland, Saline, or Hot Spring County, here are 5 productive ways to spend your three-day weekend improving your property.

1. Mow Large Areas or Fields

Grass and weeds are growing fast in May, and if you’ve got acreage, now’s the time to mow. Consider using a tractor with a brush hog attachment to quickly clear overgrown areas, especially if it’s been a wet spring.

2. Clear Fence Lines & Property Edges

Spring growth can overtake fence lines, driveways, and trails. Clearing them now makes summer maintenance easier. Renting a skid steer or compact tractor can help clear vegetation fast.

3. Grade Your Driveway

If your gravel driveway has ruts or washouts from spring rains, Memorial Day is the perfect weekend to smooth it out. Use a box blade or land plane attachment to grade it back to a solid, even surface.

4. Prep a Garden or Food Plot

Thinking about late-season vegetables or a summer food plot? Now is a great time to till the soil and get seeds in the ground. A small tractor with a tiller can save hours of manual work.

5. Plan and Mark Out Summer Projects

Use this long weekend to walk your land, flag future fencing projects, mark tree lines, or sketch out outdoor upgrades. Just being on your property can help you prioritize and plan.

Bonus Tip: Rent the Right Tools

Instead of buying expensive equipment for one or two weekends a year, rent what you need from a local provider. Damon’s Outdoor Services in Hot Springs, AR offers affordable rentals to make your project easier.
